Letting go of Debbie's wrist, Lily sighed in relief.She quietly left the room and went next door.
Still awake, Alexander could now move around in the ward and looked no different from a healthy person.
"Dr.Russell.Doing your rounds, huh?" He said it half-jokingly but cooperatively offered his hand.
Lily gave him a sidelong glance.
"You look well.You should be able to leave tomorrow."
"lI do? But | feel | can’t." Alexander raised his brow as she took his wrist pulse.
No matter how often she did it, she was always serious.Her fingers lingered a bit longer on purpose.She let go, and her tense look
visibly relaxed while her eyes sparkled with relief.

"You've fully recovered, and your wrist pulse is steady.Since everything is normal, you should leave tomorrow, okay?"
Alexander stepped forward, held her around her waist, and gently pulled her close.Lily hastily held him back by pushing his chest
with one hand.
"Don't..."
"But | can’t bear to leave you.What should | do?" He looked down at her somewhat tired eyes, wishing to kiss her.n.ovelebook
Although she did not say it, he saw how hard she worked daily and wondered if she could cope physically.
"lI can’t bear to see you go either, but I'm at the final stage of researching the cure, and it’s the most crucial moment.We have to
stick it through." She sighed and spoke softly.
"Sometimes | truly don’t appreciate you being so responsible," Alexander said, somewhat resigned.
Lily pouted.
"Sometimes | don’t either, but | can’t just let it go."
"What happened to the little girl?"
He heard a commotion but did not go and check it out due to the particular circumstance they were in.All he knew was that people
were arguing.
"Her condition got worse a bit, but we've stabilized it." Lily said softly while lowering her head.
"That's it?" Alexander looked at her, pulling her over to sit on the sofa.
"Although | couldn't hear it clearly, | heard...an argument? Was someone attacking you?"
"Not entirely me, and it's more like a fight between mainstream and herbal medicine practitioners.It has always been so.Whenever
we face a difficult problem, such a disagreement would arise."
Shaking her head, Lily felt it was a long-standing problem she could not solve alone.

"whatever fight it is, don’t land yourself in danger, okay?"
Holding her hand tightly, he only cared about her safety.
Lily smiled.
Just as she was about to reply, something on her started to beep.She was startled, and so was Alexander.
"What's that sound?’ "It’s the alarm | set.] have to go to the laboratory.The herbal medicine should be ready by now."
She let him go and got to her feet.
"Our battle should be ending soon."
Seeing her firm gaze, Alexander grew confident as well.
"Go and end it quickly! Then we'll go home, okay?"
